Roman Slave Owner

If only I could live there four months a year, so I wouldn't have to spend the whole winter outside.

With faltering steps, he walked towards the charity hospice.

After checking in very skillfully, he was assigned a room again.

I asked the staff for a second-hand clothing, and then put it on myself, regardless of whether it looks good in two coats, because the weather is too cold.

After taking a bath, he found that his body was getting worse, his head hurt badly, and he seemed to have a fever. He knew that he was sick.

This made him feel very frightened. There are countless homeless people who die of illness and freezing in Rome every year. Could it be that he will soon become one of them.

When he came to the cafeteria, he found that Brutium was also here, his face was glowing red, and he was chatting excitedly with other people.

So he walked over, Ahem...ahem...Bruttim, long time no see. I heard that something happened to you a while ago.

Haha, it's a small matter. It was exposed that Napos was looking for me, and I was caught by the civilian tribune.

Brutium said.

As a result, he went to the Senate to testify, and was questioned by hundreds of elders in turn.

He's a great man among us, the only one who ever went to the Senate.

...

The others all laughed.

Bruttim was not ashamed, but rather proud, and laughed triumphantly, as if he had done something great.

In fact, because of this incident, he was appreciated by Li Wei and became one of the core members of the intelligence team.

Are you all right now?

Menenius asked with concern, he was one of the few friends he had in Rome.

It's okay, I'm just very humble, and it made you lose so much money.

Bruttim said apologetically, he knew how important that little money was to Menenius, and it was probably the difference between life and death.

It's nothing, as long as you're okay.

Menenius said.

I think your body doesn't seem right, are you sick?

A little illness, it will pass if you support it.

How about I take you to the doctor.

No, you know I have no money.

Menenius shook his head, if he had money, he would rather fill his belly.

If you need it, you can come to me. I made a small fortune recently.

Bruttim said that there are too many friends like him, and some people die every year due to various reasons.

OK.

After eating, Menenius went into a state of idleness again. It was too cold for him to go out.

So I came to the center of the relief home, where a majestic church stood.

This is the only place in the aid home with underfloor heating, and it is also the favorite place for homeless people to stay in winter.

As he expected, hundreds of seats had already been taken up, so he could only find a place to sit down.

Why has Rome been defeated by Spartacus? Because Sidhigus offended the true god, and the true god sent his anger to Rome. Therefore, Rome will surely fall into war, and Rome's honor will also be tarnished.

This is an oracle, and this oracle is being verified step by step. The cities in the south are being slaughtered by slave rebels, and the people are crying.

Only the death of Sidhigus can be forgiven by the true God. He is a blasphemer who will surely go to Hell and be tortured forever.

But the Senate is sheltering the blasphemer Sidhigus, and the Roman Catholic Church is also sheltering him. The prophets proposed to lead the army to counter the rebellion again and again, but they were rejected by the evil Senate because they wanted to suppress the prophets, Even if the Roman army keeps losing, it will not hesitate.

Father Valo is preaching, but the content of the sermon seems to be a little different.

Hearing this, many people couldn't help whispering.

This kind of argument has become very popular in Rome, and was even used by Serabio to defend himself openly, claiming that it was Sidhigus who offended the true god that led to his own failure.

Few people believed it before, but with the failure of Graber and Serabio, more and more people believed it, even Menenius was no exception.

Their feelings are simple, not as far-reaching as the Senate's consideration, and they are full of disgust for Sidhigus and the Senate.

After expressing his anger towards the Senate and Sidiousus, Father Varro finally began his normal sermon.

You shall love your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest of commandments, and the second is like, Love your neighbor as yourself. These two commandments are the law and all the teachings of the prophets. general outline.

This sentence means...

Heaven, is there really a heaven in this world? thought Menenius.

Listening, Menenius gradually fell asleep.

I don't know if it was his hallucination, but he felt like he was in heaven.

There is a river of milk and honey, surrounded by countless beauties, and endless delicacies.

The true God is like a loving father, watching him quietly from the side.

Wake up, wake up.

An annoying voice came from the side. Menenius opened his eyes and found that Father Varo was standing beside him with a serious face, and the people around him had long since disappeared.

Damn, I overslept again.

I'm sorry, ahem...Father Valo, ahem...

Menenius said with a look of embarrassment.

It's okay, I think your complexion is not very good.

A kind smile appeared on Father Valo's face.

Yes, I have recently suffered from an illness I don't know.

If you are sick, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

I see.

Menenius said.

Father Varo took one look at him and knew he was lying because he had no money to go to the doctor.

Take it, although it's not much, it's just a little bit of my heart.

Father Valo took out a dinar from his body and put it in his hand.

This... how can this be?

Menenius said shyly.

A dinar won't cure him, but it's enough to keep him fed for a day.

You're welcome, the true God cares about every one of his people.

Father Varo said.

Hearing this, Menenius almost shed tears. He used to believe in Mars, the God of War, and Mars, the God of War, never cared about him, but now he has received so many benefits from the holy religion.

Seeing that Father Varo was about to leave, Menenius called him to stop, thinking of his dream.

Father, do you really think there is a heaven?

Of course there is.

Father Valo said with great certainty.

Can I go to heaven?

Menenius said.

Only those who are extremely devout believers and those who have made great contributions to the holy religion can go to heaven.

Father Varo said.

Menenius' face became a little ugly, he felt that he was not devout enough, so he would not be able to go to heaven?

What is a great contribution?

asked Menenius.

Calling a large number of believers for the church, fighting to spread the glory of the true God, and making great contributions to the believers of the true God, all of these count.

...

Menenius was silent, and none of this seemed to concern him.

No, he still has a choice.

Menenius' eyes suddenly lit up, Excuse me, does killing Sidious count?

Father Valo shook his body, he looked at him with weird eyes, and then nodded: Of course, forget it, Sidhigus is a blasphemer, an enemy of the Holy Church, whoever kills him can go to heaven.

I see.

Menenius said.

Father Valo glanced at him, probably guessing what he wanted to do, but he didn't stop him.

Doctrinally fighting for the glory of the true God is an immense honor and should be encouraged.

After Father Varo left, the church gradually cooled down, but Menenius' heart was still hot.

He knew that he was going to die, and instead of dying humblely, it would be better to have a vigorous fight, maybe he could still go to heaven.

So the next day, he came to a blacksmith shop and took out a dinar.

Give me a dagger.

Sidhigus was heading to the square with a few guards. Since he had the Delphic oracle, his life has been much better.

Those saintly believers rarely insulted him publicly. On the contrary, many Romans expressed their envy to him, and being able to receive the favor of God Apollo was something that many people dreamed of.

Moreover, he forced Li Wei back to Dragon City, which greatly increased his reputation. Many people, even the kings of foreign countries, had heard of his reputation.

When he was about to come to the square, he heard a voice.

Tribune, please wait a moment.

Sidious looked back and saw a tramp limping towards him.

He was coughing non-stop, and his face was a little flushed.

His brow frowned, but it soon stretched out, with a very sincere smile on his face: What can you do? I am Sidhigus, and I am very happy to help you.

Seeing Sidigus treat a homeless man like this, the people around nodded their heads.

I am a Roman citizen and I need your help.

Menenius said.

Hearing him say that he was a Roman citizen, Sidious smiled even wider.

At this moment, Menenius seemed to stumble, and was about to fall, when Sidhicus hurriedly helped him up.

careful……

But soon his face changed drastically, he looked at Menenius angrily, and then pushed him away with all his strength, only then did people realize that a lot of blood gushed out of Sidhigus' chest.

Die to me! Blasphemer!

Menenius grinned grinningly, and then when the guards reacted, they rushed up and stabbed him in the chest again and again.

ah!!!

Almost everyone was stunned, and some even screamed.

The guards hurried forward and kicked Menenius aside, and the two stepped forward to restrain him.

Then he helped Sidhigus up, and at this time a lot of blood gushed out from his chest.

Hopeless!

Because the first stab was in the heart.

The assassination of Sidious was spread through Rome as quickly as possible.

It shocked the Senate, and spread around at the same speed as the wind.

In the middle of the night, Li Wei weakened weakly.

Momini and Sibell hugged him tightly like an octopus, and Li Wei finally realized his dream of being slept together.

Only Momeni and Sibel are willing to do this, but unfortunately neither Emilia nor Yulia can hold back their faces.

He remembered that the first time he proposed to Emilia, Emilia bit him like a kitten.

The past is unbearable.

At this moment, Menenia's voice came from outside.

Patriarch, a letter from Roman Flying Pigeon has revealed something important, and you need to deal with it immediately.

What's the rush?

Levi asked.

Sidigus is dead, assassinated by a holy believer.

Menenia said.

What did you say?

Hearing this, Li Wei sat up in shock.

It is unbelievable that Sidiousus was stabbed to death by his followers.

I see, I'll go out immediately.

Li Wei said, and immediately got up and got dressed.

After receiving the secret letter in Menenia's hand, Li Wei's mood can be described as mixed after reading it. He didn't expect the Holy Cult to go away so soon.

Is this a monotheistic tradition?

At this moment, Momini came out in her pajamas, What happened?

Li Wei handed the secret letter to her, You can read it yourself.

After reading it, Mominie's face paled, How could such a thing happen?

Metellus will definitely take the opportunity to attack.

Li Wei felt very headache.

Then what should we do?

Mommy asked.

Find a way to protect him.

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

In fact, he didn't want to see this kind of thing happen. He hoped to live in peace with the Roman Catholic Church. Menenius' behavior undoubtedly intensified this contradiction.

He assassinated the tribune of the populace, and you will be in great trouble for protecting him.

Sidigus is an enemy of the Holy Faith, a blasphemer, and he is meritorious according to the teachings of the Holy Faith.

Li Wei sighed and said.

But he violated Roman law.

Mominie said.

Li Wei shook his head. He is the prophet of the holy religion. Of course, he puts the interests of the holy religion first and strives to put the religious law above the national law.

This is the so-called ass deciding position, even if this approach is wrong, we must persist.

Thinking of this, Li Wei asked Menenia to take out a pen and paper and start writing a letter.

Are you going back to Rome?

No, there must be a lot of trouble going back to Rome now.

Li Wei thought for a while and said, after writing the letter, he handed it to Menenia, and asked her to send the letter to Rome with a carrier pigeon.

In a dungeon, there are warm quilts.

Menenius gulped down a bowl of medicine, and a guard took out the empty bowl.

Menenius felt a burst of self-mockery. When he didn't kill someone, he would look down on seeing a doctor. Once he killed someone, those officials and gentlemen took the initiative to find someone to help him see a doctor for fear of his death.

Two guards stood outside the dungeon, keeping their eyes on him from time to time to prevent him from committing suicide, now Rome's most wanted criminal.

Not long after, a civilian tribune came with a team of guards.

Come with me.

said the tribune of the populace, with disgust in his eyes.

Where to go?

Menenius said.

senate.
